    Clinton signed NAFTA. This caused nearly all steel and aluminum manufacturing to move out of the country. The bulk went to Canada. Now the same business interests who want to bring that manufacturing capability back to the US are the ones who drove it out. A lot of our current troubles can be linked to how US business interests used NAFTA to weaken the american economy. Despite the orange turd being their cuck the real problem in this country are these despotic corporations and the weakening of american labor.

      Ya know, I didn’t really feel like our economy was bad just a couple of months ago. We were having problems because of bird flu, so price of eggs went up. But other than that, just a couple of months ago, we weren’t doing too bad. I can’t put my finger on what’s changed, but it will come to me.
